Danny Trejo – 77 Years Old

Danny Trejo’s Hollywood career began unusually. At the production set of the 1985 film Runaway Train, a teenager asked the assistance of Trejo regarding substance abuse issues since he’s a youth drug counselor back then. While there, he was offered a job as an extra for the film’s prison scenes but eventually landed an actual role. From then onward, Trejo established himself as a fine actor in the entertainment industry. Among the movies he starred in early on in his acting career included Blood In Blood Out, Marked for Death, Heat, Desperado, Con Air, Six Days, and Seven Nights.

Given credit for his distinctive appearance, Trejo mostly starred in movies as a villain. However, he played sympathetic roles in some movies, such as the Spy Kids film trilogy and the American television show Monk. Other television shows that Trejo appeared in included The Desperate Housewives and the animated sitcom King of the Hill, where he voiced the character of Enrique. Just this month, Trejo was honored by Los Angeles CRI-Help, a drug and alcohol center, at its 50th-anniversary drive-in celebration.
